Rainy Weekend in Nakuru

ak. We've been, as some would say, blessed by heavy rains the past three days. As a result, there have been multiple power outages, some of which have lasted the better part of the day. Between rainfalls, we were able to make it to the hospital this afternoon to distribute some food to the IDPs. Maintaining medical and nutrition needs for the remaining 60 members of the hospital's IDP camp is yet another task Ruth Schaefer deals with on a daily basis. The tentative plan is that the remaining IDPs will continue to live on the hospital grounds until late November or early December, but since there remain ethnic strains throughout the country, it's still not easy for the IDPs to relocate to their original homes. In the meantime, many who live at the hospital have become temporary workers and are, subsequently, able to earn a small salary that will help them get back on their feet.
